Which organ carries energy in a cell

1 answer

In a cell, the organelle that is primarily responsible for carrying and producing energy is the mitochondrion. Mitochondria are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell because they generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the main energy currency of the cell. They achieve this through a process called cellular respiration, where they convert nutrients, particularly glucose and fatty acids, into ATP, using oxygen in aerobic conditions.
